Download a utility that sorts all the folders by size

Use WinDirStat

Post the desk top, or delete the 189gb of porn you have on it

lol my porn is on an SD card

Is that the program?

thanks guys

First of all dont use windows
Second of all do not ever use windows
Third of all use linux and uninstall your shitty anti virus

Yeah. This is this software.
Very useful.

what are these two files?

Not deleting system32
Not installing gentoo

GTFO Monica

> stop using avast get avg
> WinDirStat
> Or just wipe and install Mint already

and why wont it let me delete this bullshit sims4?

>avg
implying thats any better than avast

Google them. They're like the hard drive version of ram. They store info when the ram is full, like necessary program info to be used later. Some people delete it or limit the size of it, but you may lose some data and your computer may run slower, especially if there's not a lot of ram.

It literally tells you why you can't delete it you fucking tard

dismount the iso first

>its open in disc soft lite bus

Why do even use Windows?
Unless u actively play PC games on your Laptop i suggest going Linux like Mint or Ubuntu

Cuntfirmed IT technician here

AVG is da bomb dot com

there is kind of a lot 16gig

how do I do that?

I am using avast and i would really like to know why you recommend avg

clearly I dont know wtf soft lite bus is dickhead

Yeah a lot of people say that. You can just limit that to 1gb or something to keep it from filling up your hdd.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Avg lets the admin have choice in what it does

Also avast totally fucks hardware support for TONS of programs.

Same here tbqhfam

it's daemon tools
a program for opening virtual CDs

...

I use TreeSize Free, lightweight runonly crap.

and i can unmount the sims4 iso from Daemon tools? and then it will let me delete that stuff?

I don't. I recommend Malwarebytes. very light and does the job

Works for me :^)

Just don't install the stuff that fucks with your system.
Everything but the actual scanner software is optional.

I just have both, why settle for less?

correct

Buy a 1tb harddrive on ebay for $50

because the eat up a shit ton of memory. just check task manager

NO ONE TELL HIM HOW TO UNMOUNT THE ISO

i dont see the sims4 anywhere?
do i just click unmount all?

Inb4 hidden partition full of the cheesiest pizza

Thanks for your reply and for correcting me i'll keep that in mind

I saw Richard Stallman at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Lol Linux fag

yes try that

lol im scared

it's just weird that it's not shown. nothing's gonna go wrong if you just do it anyways.

Is hibernation enabled? if so, turn that off.
There may also be a few restore points, I'd recommend getting rid of all but the most recent and the oldest.

worked perfect!
thanks Sup Forums

whats hibernation?

Without being very technical, it's where it saves the current state of your computer (All of the programs you have open, what you're doing in them, etc.) to disk before shutting down.
When it's enabled, Windows reserves disk space about equal to the total amount of system RAM.

it allows for a machine to be in a super low-power state without losing data. with win8 and 10, the hiberfil.sys is a big reason that reboots are so speedy - it basically restores that session instead of going through the full cold-boot process.

Agree with this fag, I've done it on mine to save 10odd gb. I've never once 'Hibernated' the PC so had no need to keep the files.

Any wins OP?

Open daemon tools and unmount Sims 4

Open daemon and unmount, stop asking you technologically autistic fag and learn how to computers, because I'm guessing you'll use a 16gb ram pc to play minecraft

Minecraft can be quite intensive on your PC - if you have mods/shaders you uneducated pleb.

Fuck I'd just wipe it
